Life Feels Full

Crazy self-portrait of me in my UV protection hat
This summer is really shaping up to be great despite the fact that we won’t get to go see the ocean as much as I’d love to. I’m making the best of it.
This morning I took the girls to that church again where they went to VBS [...]

Crazy Dreams

I sure wish I knew what this meant! I woke up and jotted this all down really fast so I wouldn’t forget. Details always fade as the day goes on.
Here are the dreams:
I am running in the misty rain. It’s New Year’s Eve, it’s dark and I know this. I’m downtown. I’m coming up the [...]

Snuggle Bugs

Cate was up before the sun calling for me and wanting to snuggle. What a little sweetie. It’s a good thing I can get by on just seven hours of sleep! Guess she’s getting me ready for the fun of having a newborn.
I’ve been having lots of fun lately enjoying summer to the fullest. Some [...]

Family Fun

I love when they love each other!
We had a great adventure yesterday. We went up to the Peaks. Had a delicious breakfast at the lodge and then went on a hike around the lake.

I actually got a few pics of me with the girls for a change!
Billy really enjoyed himself. It wasn’t very crowded. The [...]

Last Day

It’s a beautiful Friday morning. It’s the last day of the VBS I’ve been taking the girls to. Yesterday was much better than the day before. Billy was home and we did a lot while they were at the church. We cleaned the neon he drives, dropped my van off to be inspected and repaired, [...]

Too much Is Just Too Damn Much!

I’m so tired. I feel like my moods are swinging like a pendulum. I want to cry. I want to scream.
These last few days I’ve had the girls going to Vacation Bible School and the three hour break is wonderful but it’s also very, very lonely. I have lots of friends but no one to [...]

Slightly less than 1 c. whole wheat flour
1 T. ground flax seed
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 c. sugar (the [...]

Adventures with Girls

I took Emma and Cate to the state park yesterday for some “beach” fun. It takes about 30 minutes to drive to this place. Cost me $10 to get us in and then another $7.50 in hotdogs at lunchtime but we had a blast. I’m paying for it today with a sunburned back but other [...]

Shut My Mouth and Call Me a Gossip!

Last night was the end of year party for the MOMS Club I’m in – you know, the one I rejoined. It was held at a restaurant on their veranda and was a whole lot of fun. For $15 you got a drink, salad, and an entree and it even included your tip! What a [...]

Great Weather for Ducks

Billy’s home and I could actually do something albeit briefly but alone. He always wants me home by lunchtime so he can get all his stuff done which I find aggravating but I guess I’m glad I don’t have to nag him to do his chores.
The rain is pouring and has been since yesterday afternoon. [...]
